UNDER the law you could not look even at the reflection of the glory, because it came as a legal claim on man. You never get the light of God shining into a man's heart without the conscience being awakened; under the law the glory became a ministry of death and condemnation; now, when I see the glory, I see it in the face of Him who was hanging on the cross for my sins. And what does it mean? It means that the whole question has been settled entirely and exclusively between God and Christ upon the cross, and man had no part whatever in it except the sins which He bore; and this is both our shame and our comfort.
